Adrenocortex Stress Profile

The Adrenocortex Stress Profile is a comprehensive tool to assess the stress response and resilience to stress. Daily stressors, chronic pain, chronic infection, blood sugar dysregulation, and poor relationship quality can alter the stress response and adrenal function. Imbalances in adrenal hormones can have a wide range of consequences that can negatively impact a person’s overall quality of life. 

The results of this test include an easy-to-interpret graph which plots the cortisol level throughout the day, the cortisol awakening response, the DHEA level, as well as the cortisol to DHEA ratio. All of this data is used to assess adrenal function. The saliva samples are collected at home and shipped to the lab with a prepaid shipping box.
